Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 177 Surprising first half of the season!Welcome three new aids during the winter break!
"Internal and external Conte does not want to go to Rome to be humiliated"

"Conte strategically abandons the European Cup, UEFA is furious, and Tottenham may wear small shoes"

"Football Edition Empty City Plan?Mourinho takes Tottenham easy

Once the news of Tottenham's retirement spread, the above is the title of the press release issued by the normal media.

The South Korean media, who were expecting Sun Xingmin to "educate" Chen Xiaoliang at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, and worried that Tottenham, who is not doing well recently, may not be able to play against Roma, which just overturned Inter Milan and performed explosively at home, immediately went full steam. Their national icon has made a comeback in the public opinion field.

"Son Xingmin missed the opportunity to rule Rome, and the scam of the most water Copa Award winner can continue"

"A player who has never entered the Champions League also wants to be called the strongest in Asia?Multi-dimensional argumentation by professor of South Korea Sports University: Chen Xiaoliang is still far away"

However, compared with the bragging of these Koreans above, the following news is what makes Chen Xiaoliang and the Roma Club feel unbelievable.

"A fan of a Serie A team believes that Chen Xiaoliang is an electric bionic AI high-intelligence robot secretly developed by Red Country Enterprises and Tesla, and submits a petition to the Italian government website to expel him from Serie A, which has received 40 signatures from netizens."

The petition also claimed convincingly that Chen Xiaoliang's average running distance of 13.32 kilometers per game is far ahead of the second Brozovic. He ran an astonishing 14.1 kilometers in the last game against Inter Milan. Not something a 17-year-old player can do.

At the same time, due to the close cooperation between the Donghai Municipal Government, local state-owned enterprises and the American giant Tesla, and the construction of a huge production plant in Donghai City, it can be inferred that Chen Xiaoliang from Donghai City must be a bionic robot secretly developed by the two parties.

There are causes and effects, and there are reasons and evidence.

Of course, the Serie A committee and the Club of Rome would not pay attention to such absurd remarks. Instead, the sponsors took the opportunity to hype a wave of "mechanical" concepts, seized the hot spots of traffic, and made a lot of hype.At the same time, Chen Xiaoliang's reputation was brought to more parts of the world along with this absurd news.

Having won the most important game in the first half, Rome's state and morale have been boosted.

In the next three games in December, they played well overall.

12月13日晚上，他们在主场2比0战胜联赛排名17的斯佩齐亚。

In the 5th minute of the first half, Smalling received a corner kick from Pellegrini and scored his second goal in the league this season. In the 2th minute of the second half, it was also a corner kick. He scored again with a header from a corner kick, his third league goal of the season.

Due to the weakness of the opponent in this game, Chen Xiaoliang returned to the position of the single midfielder, Sesco also entered the rotation, and Abraham served as the single arrow.

On December 12, in the 18th round of the league, Roma challenged Atlanta away.

Since the last round of Inter Milan beat Cagliari 4-0 at home, and in this round they beat Salernitana 0-5 away in the already concluded game, the number of points, goals and goal difference The world has surpassed Rome.

However, in the ranking rules of the Serie A standings, in the case of the same score, the priority is the relationship between the two sides. Therefore, as long as Roma wins, it can continue to stabilize Inter Milan.

It is not an easy game to face the 6th-ranked Atlanta in an away game. Being able to rank 6th and bite Juventus tightly, leaving Lazio, Fiorentina and other old teams behind is enough to show this team How combative it is in the league.

What's more, their 63-year-old coach Gasperini can be regarded as a powerful and well-known coach, and Villarreal's Spaniard Unai Emery is similar to him.

These coaches may not be able to succeed with the giants, but they can always perform better than expected with a mid-range team.

Last season, Atlanta scored 78 points, ranking third in the league standings, only 3 point behind runner-up AC Milan, and thus entered the Champions League.

At their home stadium, the Azuri Stadium, Manchester United only relied on Ronaldo's last-minute goal to tie them 2-2 in the Champions League group stage.

However, Mourinho and his disciples have long been like enlightened practitioners, with no obsession in their hearts. When encountering this kind of opponent, they resolutely show their housekeeping skills-defense and counterattack.

Although Pellegrini's calf muscle injury in training has healed, Mourinho still asked him to come off the bench to find his status just to be on the safe side. On the captain's armband.

In the away game, his hidden attribute "leadership" can play a more role in motivating the players under the identity of the captain.

This made everyone not panic in the face of Atlanta's 71% super high ball possession rate, and controlled the number of shots on target by the opponent's audience to 6 feet.

At the same time, none of the 10 corner kicks could pose a threat to the goal.

In just one minute of the opening, after passing a few balls in the backcourt, Abraham and Chen Xiaoliang completed a two-pass and one-hit wall near the middle circle to get rid of Atlanta's defensive line.

Abraham dribbled the ball forward all the way, facing the attacking goalkeeper Musso chose to shoot, the ball floated into the right side of the goal, Roma got off to a fantastic start 0-1 away.

In the 27th minute, Rome made another victory.

Chen Xiaoliang steals the ball from the backcourt and launches a counterattack with a long pass. After Zaniolo gets the ball, he cooperates with Wellertu with a short pass and breaks into the penalty area. With a swipe of his left foot, he pulls out of the gap and shoots from a close corner. Roma leads by 2 goals in the away game!
The poor performance made Atlanta make early adjustments. In the 34th minute, Gasperini replaced the Albanian defender Jim Siti, who had a disastrous performance, with Colombian striker Muriel.

In the 46th minute before the end of the first half, Atlanta pulled back a goal. Slovenian winger Ilysic made an inverted triangle pass back to the center.

The shot that was not very threatening hit Cristante and changed direction. Patricio had no choice but to witness the ball fly into the right side of the goal. Atlanta also relied on this slightly lucky goal. The award score was rewritten to 1 to 2.

In the second half, Roma continued to stay on the defensive, allowing Atlanta to siege, and looking for all opportunities to launch a quick counterattack.

In the 72nd minute, Zaniolo was brought down in the counterattack, and Roma got a free kick on the right side outside the penalty area.

Chen Xiaoliang, Pellegrini and Wellerto discussed it, and it turned out that Wellerto took the tactical free kick.

He drove the ball to Chen Xiaoliang next to him, and Chen Xiaoliang passed it straight to Pellegrini who was plugging in. Pellegrini made the appearance of breaking into the penalty area, but took a few steps and then passed it back. Smalling With all the defensive pressure being attracted by his teammates, he scored a goal near the back post and Roma led 1-3 in the away game!

After leading by 2 goals, Mourinho replaced 3 players, but the tactical style of play remained unchanged. Facing the crazy siege of Atlanta, the Roma players were united as one and did not give the opponent any chance.

In the 82nd minute, Roma sealed the victory.

It was still Chen Xiaoliang who stole the ball in front of the penalty area and passed it long to Sesco, who was on the right side of the frontcourt, and the ball penetrated Atlanta's encirclement with one kick.

Sesco rushed all the way into the penalty area, and when there was a chance to shoot from a small angle, he passed unselfishly to Wu Lei, who outflanked the ball in the middle. First league goal!
In the end, Rome won 1-4 away!

This game is also very rare, 4 goals and 4 assists, all by different players.

And on December 12, Roma ushered in the last opponent of the first half of the season before the winter break at home, the 22th-ranked Sampdoria.

Abraham's injury in the 33rd minute allowed Wu Lei, who had been training hard, to get a chance to play.

However, facing Sampdoria's iron barrel formation, Roma once again fell into the vicious circle of playing football when they are besieged, but they can't play when they are besieged.

In the 71st minute, after Mkhitaryan's cross pass to Chen Xiaoliang was blocked, he changed to a small angle shot and scored a goal. In the 79th minute, Sampdoria took advantage of the corner kick. Gabbiadini, a striker who has played for Tus, Naples and Southampton, bounced the ball back from his teammate's header and hit the post.

The score of 1 to 1 was also maintained until the end.

The failure to win this game also made Roma miss the feat of reaching the top in the final round of the first half of the league season.

But after 19 rounds of the league, they ranked second with 41 points, which also made the club feel the joy of surprise.

The detailed standings are as follows:
No. 1, Inter Milan, 43 points

No. 2, Roma, 41 points

No. 3, AC Milan, 40 points

4th, Naples, 38 points

No. 5, Juventus, 35 points

10th, Sassuolo, 27 points

11th, Verona, 24 points

12th, Empoli, 24 points

13th, Torino, 23 points

各队也从12月24日开始到1月5日，获得了12天的冬歇期机会。

在这3场比赛中，陈小亮均全部打满全场，分别获得了3小时训练值和2张体力恢复卡、5小时训练值和1张体力恢复卡、以及3小时训练值的比赛任务奖励，不过在比赛中他也用掉了3张体力恢复卡。

Training value 19 → 30
Stamina Recovery Card 5 → 5
As for the Europa League game that Tottenham abandoned, although the team won in name, but because the game did not actually start, Chen Xiaoliang was not able to get the slightest game reward from the system...

Conte's operation made Chen Xiaoliang lose blood...

However, the so-called winter break is not to let the players go home to rest, but to change to a place with a more comfortable temperature for the players to relax and train.

Owner Dan Friedkin is very satisfied with the team's performance. At the same time, due to the increasing number of sponsorship endorsements, the club's financial situation has gradually moved away from the "death line" of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act. In order to reward the soldiers, he let Pinto Specially arrange for the team to go to Dubai for a 10-day winter break training, and it is allowed to bring family members or partners with them.

Needless to say, Chen Xiaoliang has become the most enviable one again...

Other players who have wives can only bring wives, even if they want to bring girlfriends, they dare not bring girlfriends... and those who don't have wives can bring girlfriends, but they can only bring one.

Only Chen Xiaoliang is called "Private Sports Science Director" and "Personal Fitness Coach". What's even more outrageous is that Erica did not sign up for all the European track and field competitions before the spring of 2022 due to her injury, and became a member of the Rome first team. After working as a part-time physical coach, she not only often participated in the physical training of the team that Rapetty was mainly in charge of, but she was also able to go to Dubai to train with the team in an official capacity...

During the winter break, storing physical fitness is an important subject...

Moreover, which player doesn't like such a young and fashionable fitness coach...

Often on the training ground, Rapetty yells three times, but Erica's gesture is not enough.

The teammates often joked with Chen Xiaoliang in private, but those popular jokes didn't work on him.

You are joking, tell Chen Xiaoliang to pay attention to nourishing his kidneys, so as not to be "hollowed out of his body", but his average running distance of 13.36 per game not only gallops all over the court, but also makes others almost get down during training. He can still fight another 300 rounds. With this physical strength, no one dares to deny that he is definitely an "iron waist"...

You joked, let Chen Xiaoliang pay attention to "rain and dew are evenly covered", but the relationship between the family and the sisters is very good, and they are under the same roof every day, no one can see how Chen Xiaoliang settles it. Anyway, the teammates only see two big beauties One still and one movement, one article and one martial arts, one piece of one piece, one piece of relaxation, served this hot big star very well.

Alas, the teammates can only sigh, this is called a winner in life, only envy, jealousy and hatred...

Chen Xiaoliang never responded to these jokes.

He still doesn't dare to think about that night in Ajaccio, whether it was Helena or Erica...

The two sisters look almost identical, except that Erica, who is a long-distance runner, is slightly thinner and likes to wear a high ponytail, and her pupils are slightly different from Helena's tortoiseshell color, which is azure blue. There is almost no difference.

Even Riise, David, and Cesko, who often meet, always admit their mistakes.

In the first five days after arriving in Dubai, Mourinho arranged a relatively small amount of training, mainly some recovery training, so that the players could completely eliminate the fatigue from half a season, and the training ended on time at 3:[-] p.m. every day. Let players take their families to relax.

For ordinary people, Dubai, a city of rich people with a high level of consumption, is quite a tourist destination, but for this group of players with an annual salary of millions of euros, it is an ideal holiday destination starting from Europe.

Chen Xiaoliang also specially chose Christmas night to invite all coaches, teammates and their families to experience the steakhouse opened by the famous Internet celebrity "Brother Salt".

Many famous stars have come to his restaurant, such as Messi, Mbappe, Courtois, Aubameyang, Mahrez, Pogba, etc., and also entertained legendary superstars like Ronaldo .

The arrival of Mourinho and the whole Roma team has of course become a moment for "Brother Salt" to perform hard, but Chen Xiaoliang is also very savvy, so tell Brother Salt not to put a photo of him and Mourinho in Borg Next to the picture of Ba...

Everyone had a great time that night, and many tourists who came to Dubai recognized them and asked for a group photo.

But not every player has a weekly salary of 8.8 euros like Chen Xiaoliang, and a bunch of sponsors are lining up to sign with him.

Ghanaian teenager Gyan and Gambian teenager Darbo are typical examples.

Their weekly salaries are only a few thousand euros, which is even lower than that of white-collar workers in some local financial companies in Rome.

At this time, Mourinho gave full play to the charm of his personality as a coach, and gave him a pair of shoes that Ji An had always wanted, priced at 800 euros, and spent a little more to buy a suit for Darbo. Outfit for a formal ceremony.

When the two African-American teenagers received this "Christmas" gift in the restaurant, they were overwhelmed with emotion. Other players were also moved by this scene, and stepped forward to encourage them.

Mourinho was very happy to see this, because his perfect winter break plan has been completed two thirds.

The recovery has also been restored, and the cohesion has also improved. All that remains is to wait for the three new players to join up!
Although the transfer window has not yet opened, since the transfer agreement has already been completed, after the two clubs negotiated in advance, after completing their last round of matches in their old clubs, the Dutch left back Terrell Malasia and the Turkish right Defender Zeki Celik and Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic flew to Dubai from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Lille in France and Manchester in the UK to report to their new club in advance.

With the arrival of all three new aids on December 12, the relaxed recovery training also came to an end, and Mourinho started formal training for better results in the second half of the season.

Malaysia wore Niles' No. 15 jersey, and Niles was terminated in advance of the loan agreement and returned to Arsenal;

Celik wears the No. 19 jersey, which has not been used before;
Matic put on the No. 8 jersey, which symbolizes the main midfielder. The previous owner of No. 8 was the Spaniard Gonzalo Villar, but his injuries and style are completely wrong for Mourinho. , was rented out early.

Mourinho specially assigned Chen Xiaoliang to the substitute group in the team confrontation, and let the three new players take turns to face him.

Chen Xiaoliang couldn't figure it out, after all, two of the three were recommended by him to the team.

The 24-year-old Celik's speed is acceptable and his offensive ability is not strong, but his defensive stability is much better than that of Karlsdorp. His marking is quite satisfactory, but his steals are very straightforward.

The 21-year-old Malasia is still very young, and his speed is about the same as that of Celik. He is not fast, but he is definitely not slow. His biggest feature is one word - courage.

He usually doesn't talk much, and he is very polite when he sees everyone, but when he comes to the training ground, he seems to want to do it with everyone he sees.

One-on-one defensive ability is good, and the interception ability on the left is also very good, but like Celik, the offensive ability is average, and the level of crossing and dribbling can only barely be regarded as upper-middle level.

However, these two full-backs still have room for polishing, which is also in line with Mourinho's goal of requiring two "defensive" full-backs in the four-back tactic.

The original two main full-backs Karlsdorp and Binia can serve more as wing-backs with more offensive tasks in the three-back system.

Although the 32-year-old Matic, the most famous and most important of the three new aids, has entered the end of his career, his speed and explosive power have declined seriously, but with his rich experience, the three-time Premier League champion The consciousness of the winner is almost better than any player on the team.

If it is said that many of Chen Xiaoliang's defenses are obtained abruptly by relying on physical strength and speed, then Matic is constantly using slow translation and blocking to cut off the opponent's passing route and breakthrough route.

And his body is maintained very well, his ability to compete for the top and confrontation is still top-notch in Serie A, and his ability to steal and defend from the front is far better than that of Wellertu and Christante. The ability to pass the ball with feet can give the team an additional offensive starting point in the midfield.

On the evening of January 1, the Roma Club and Manchester United, Lille, and Feyenoord announced the transfer results.

The final transaction price was 1500 million euros for Malaysia and 700 million euros for Celik, while Matic, who had only half a year left in his contract, only paid a symbolic transfer fee of 100 million pounds to Manchester United.

Everyone is working hard, because after the winter break, the team's first game is to go to San Siro to challenge AC Milan!
